META-MA XIM #1
The meta-message is context’s commentary
on the message.
![Page 36: Josiah Fisk - The message and the meta-message: How to assess and control the "body language" of your communications](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052822/554edae6b4c905911d8b4801/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
META-MA XIM #2
The message is completely at the mercy
of the meta-message.

A communication that has meta-message problems
can be worse than no communication at all.
